    The curriculum is same in all the campuses and pretty good faculties. They are teaching pretty good they always help students in getting the knowledge they have.. though faculty is a bit inexperienced in new campuses like daman and Srinagar but old campuses are amazing in terms of faculty. They will always be available to help you with internships and assignments.

    Basically in initial years we learn the subjects of mixed departments and in the later years we are given specialized knowledge about our own department. It is basically practical based course. But can't say it makes us job ready yet because I'm still learning in the initial year.

    Both the course and the city, Mumbai is best place to study.
